    Recipe of Easy Homemade Caesar Salad by Jenny Jones

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Caesar salad! Now I don’t have to go to a fancy restaurant to get a classic Caesar salad. It was always a mystery to me because I thought I had to use whole anchovies but for me, anchovy paste is perfect and it’s also easy to use. It takes just minutes to make this dressing but you need the right ingredients. You just shake it all up in a jar and it’s done.

    Traditional Caesar salad is made with romaine lettuce and for me, hearts of romaine make the best presentation, not to mention homemade croutons. I usually make croutons with slices of my faster no knead bread and my recipe is super easy too. Click here to see how to make homemade croutons.

    I encourage everyone to eat a salad every day and now you can make one of those salads a classic Caesar.

    There are three reasons why I love this recipe:

    • It’s vegetarian.
    • It has lots of super-food veggies.
    • It takes less than 20 minutes to make.

    This is a light, easy supper that I love to make, depending what I have on hand. My favorite combo is this one with broccoli, baby spinach, bell peppers, and peas. But I have also made it with other vegetables, sometimes broccollini instead of broccoli, Swiss chard instead of spinach, or other subs like asparagus, shredded carrots, bok choy, or Chinese snow peas, so you see it’s just a great way to get a variety of cooked vegetables in one meal. But I always use at least four different veggies.

    Cold cooked rice works best so I usually cook the rice the day before, and refrigerate it overnight. Mostly I use Uncle Ben’s converted rice but I have also made it with brown rice. Either way, if your rice is cooked in advance, this is a super-quick meal. Be sure to have everything ready before you start because a stir-fry means you don’t leave the pan once you start and it cooks in less than 10 minutes! So chop everything first and have everything in place before starting.

    Cold, cooked rice works best so I cook and cool the rice overnight. Otherwise, you can cook the rice and spread it on a dinner plate, uncovered, to cool & release moisture. This meal cooks quickly so have everything ready before you start. Cook Vegetable Fried Rice, Use white or brown rice. – Jenny Jones
